Regatta Bay Golf & Country Club

Top 100 in Florida

5.0 of 5 starsReviewed November 14, 2022

Located in a conservation area, the course was designed by one of the former Chief Architects of the Arnold Palmer Group - Robert C Walker - and is one of Florida's Top 100. You can easily build very good, beautiful, exciting and correspondingly challenging courses.

Until recently it was a pure members club, now it is semi-private.

It is a very great and very generous gate community with a course like this.
By far the largest part of the facility is in a very quiet location - US 98 and US 293 are sometimes close and the background noise is appropriate - the Air Force jets take off from the nearby US Air Force Base Eglin and are in the air.

The course measures just over 340 meters per hole - back tess - the par 3 almost 200 meters. Mostly very wide, undulating fairways welcome the player - it is still challenging - a solid carry is required to reach the fairway - water and no man's land have to be overcome. There are not too many bunkers on the fairways, but real monsters, very big and very long. They come into play when the direct line is sought.

Mostly large, higher greens, some of which are defended with monster bunkers - deep or very high bunker edges. The greens play great, fast, often look harmless. They are not particularly undulating - mostly rather flat - but have very fine bracks, which makes them very tricky.

Everything is there what the player could wish for, also very courteous staff.

Top course, well maintained.

No question, everyone gave five stars!
